Chapter 14: Frosty Touch

Note: Enjoy my Darlings! It's so very long! Again no beta so I can only catch so much on my own.

Evelyn was not in the best mood. Joker had been rather nasty with her lately. Told her she reminded him of a beached whale. He'd never had the most tact, that's for sure… Sighing she went to the secondary master bath. Over the last month, she moved herself to the room next to the nursery to in an effort to get away from the Joker and his taunting. Harley tried to get him to stop but in the end she could only do so much.

Once the bath was full of hot water and bubbles she sank into it with a groan. The lavender just melted her stress away. Grabbing the remote from the basket next to the tube, she turned on the small TV. It was time for a romantic comedy. She didn't feel any love from Joker so she's settle for seeing romance via viewing., and Harley had been keeping her distance from her as well. It as breaking her heart. Her movie of choice for the day was Pretty Woman.

"There you are Princess. Mommy and I are going to have some fun… Frost will be staying with ya to made sure you're taken care of."

"Fine. See you later." she grabbed the remote and turned the volume up on the TV, pointedly ignoring him. Evelyn didn't want to hear anything he had to say. A scoff was heard and then a lithe hand touched her cheek. Harley.

"Hello Princess… We'll be back soon my love." the Queen spoke softly into the girls ear. "I'll try to talk to him sweetie. You know him though, no thinking before he speaks. Be good. If you need us just have frost call." Smiling Harley took Evelyn's face in hands and kissed her gently, leaving behind a trace of her signature red lipstick.

"I love you Harley. Be careful Momma." Evelyn spoke softly so the queen could hear her. The woman left and Evelyn felt a rather uncomfortable twinge in her heart. "Come home soon…"

Evelyn wasn't sure how long she'd been in the bath but it was long enough for all the bubbles to vanish and water was long since cold. Sighing she grabbed the hand rail she'd had installed once she got big and pulled herself up. Humming she went to climb out when she felt the pressure that had been building for the few days break.

Looking down she saw red pooling in the water.

She screamed and fell back down hugging the bump as her form was racked with pain.

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

Frost stood in the living room and sighed. He left bad for Evelyn. The Boss hadn't been good to her as of late, but there was nothing he could do. He worked for the Joker, not Evelyn. Even Harley's wishes came before the young woman's. He was lost in thought and nearly missed the scream that rang through the mansion.

He took off running to the second master bath. What he saw made his freeze. Evelyn has managed to get herself out of the bathtub and was on the floor crying wrapped in a robe, red blood mixing with the water under her. He reached back to grab his phone and she cried out.

"No! Don't call them!" she held out her hand and he rushed over helping her to her feet. "Rinse out the tub, and refill it with warm water… Frost I need your help… Please…"

As much as he wanted to deny her, he didn't. Carefully he set her on the edge of the tub and went about doing what she'd asked of him. As the tub filled he put a number of towels on the floor to soak up the water and then took her arm. He had been reading book on the off chance that something like this happened.

He had been concerned about the lack of planning for the twins coming, but it seems she'd had a plan and kept it to herself. It didn't take long for the tub to refill and once it was done he helped her stand and walked her out to the bedroom where she picked up her phone and called a number Frost didn't recognize.

"Hello?..Hey, it's me. I need you….." she smiled a bit and closed her eyes, Frost could hear a woman's voice of the other end and an excited squeal. "You have the address. See you soon. Bye." she tossed the phone on the bed and rested her forehead against Frost's chest. "There is a woman coming to help me. Let her in, she won't hurt anyone."

"You know we can't let anyone in here Princess… Who the hell did you call?" he pet her hair and lead her back to the tub, giving her a moment to slip into a short slip dress before helping her into the water.

"My Grandmother of course."

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

"Where is she Johnny?" She heard an all too familiar voice echo through the mansion and she smiled. Soon an older Lady walked through the bathroom door, her silver speckled locks over her shoulder in a long braid. "There she is. Hello Flower." Lady Lucy smiled and set of the edge of the tub, kissing the young woman's brow.

"I'm glad you're here Grand-mère, I couldn't do this alone." violet eyes closed and her head fell against the older woman's leg. "I'm afraid…" A few tears fell as she moan otu in pain curing another contraction. "I don't think I can do this without them."

"Hush Flower… We'll give them a ring shall we? They might just be able to get here in ti-" Grand-mère's words were cut off but another groan from her granddaughter. "The sooner the better too…."

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

From the bedroom Frost was already putting a call into Harley, but using Evelyn's phone to ensure the call was answered. IT took only a second for the classic, 'mommy's busy princess', "Harley. It's Frost.

"what the hell?! Where's Princess?!" He could hear the anger in her voice. Frost bit back a sigh.

"You both need to come home."

"But we just left a few hours ago! We're still out having fun!"

"Harley, she's in labor." There was a snort from the lady clown and then Joker was the one who responded. His voice was cold.

"She's not due for another 3 weeks. It's probably those Braxton Hicks contractions agai-" A scream came from the bathroom and Frost could hear what he thought were breaks shrieking to a halt.

"I thought so too, but the blood says otherwise. Get here quickly." Not giving them a moment to respond he hung up and went back to the bathroom. He'd been letting Evelyn hold his hand when contraction hit, he was sure his hand was broken in a few places. "They're on their way Princess."

"Thank you Frost." she cried against the back of his hand and let out a strangled cry and moan of pain followed by the release of pressure. Leaning back looked down and saw a bark brown head of hair with a rather toxic green patch mixed on under her. With the help of Frost and Grand-mère she sat back on the but and pulled the small body from the water.

As soon as the small body was above the water a cry was heard. A wailing shriek of a baby with a big pair of lungs. Looking down she started to cry tears of joy. "Hello my little Prince…. Momma loves you so much…" Looking up she saw that her Grand-mère was crying silently, a smile on her face. "He'll take after his father for sure…. No one can deny that hair."

"No, they can't Flower." the older woman clipped the baby's umbilical cord and cut it carefully, freeing the babe from Evelyn. "Here…"Next the took the baby and walked past frost with him in her arms. "Keep an eyes on her. Baby number 2 is on the way and this Prince needs his first bath."

Frost watched the woman go the a small basin that they had set up in the early stages of Evelyn's contractions and bath the baby. Before he could think about anything else a loud small was heard followed by running feet.

"Mommy's comin'!" It was Harley. Smiling he stood and pet Evelyn's hair. She's be ok.

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~

The Lady Clown ran to the bathroom she knew Evelyn was in. Princess had hold her what her plan was months ago and Harley had supported her. Harley saw the older Lady and was about to pull a gun on her, but she saw how alike to Evelyn she looked so she figured it was her Grand-mère, the girl spoke about her a lot, after all she raised her after her mother died.

Harley stripped down to her bra and underwear and climbed into the tub behind Princess. Evelyn immediately leaned back against her front, a sigh of content falling from her lips. "I'm sorry Sweetie, but we has wanted this to be a surprise… for before the babies were born…."

Joker came into the bathroom holding a bouquet purple, pink, and blue roses. He came over and knelt by the tub and took Evelyn's hand planting a red kiss on the back of it. Evelyn went to say something but ended up tending up and gripping Joker's hand in a death grip.

"Quite a grip you've got there Princess…" Joker spoke softly and placed something on her hand. Looking over she gasped. It was a silver ring set with pink and white diamonds. The Joker wore a band as did Harley. "Yes I know. While I ain't the marrying kinda guy, I don't mind this. Happy Valentines Day Princess."

"Happy Valentines Day indeed." Joker turned around and found himself on the receiving end and a kick on the pants from Evelyn's Grand-mère. Seeing as he wasn't expecting it he fell to the side. He was about to lash out but he went even paler seeing who it was.

"Madam?! Did not expect you here…" he mumbled before standing and offering a bow. "What brings you here?"

"My Granddaughter." the Madam stepped around him and handed the small babe to Evelyn who held him close with Harley who cooed over him. "You know just what will happen if you hurt her Jack. I've got my eye on you."

"Joker? Why did you call her Madam?" Evelyn eyed the two with interest. She'd known her Grand-mère's past had been something she didn't talk about but now she was curious.

"You know the Mob Boss I used to work with before I became this masterpiece?" Joker spun around with glee, "This lovely lady was the head of it! Her husband was just a figure head, this was the brains behind the operation! Madam Rose… Pleasure to see you again."

"Sadly I cannot say the same Mr. Napier." Leaning down she pressed a kiss to Evelyns brow withe a smile. "You're in good hands now Flower. I'll come back in a few days to make sure all is well. Au revoir."

~:~:~:~:~:~:~

Hearing all of that through Evelyn for a loop. She'd never expected her Grand-mère's history to be so interesting! Shaking his head Joker sat on the edge of the tub, eyeing the bundle in Evelyn and Harley's arms.

Carefully Princess handed the small bundle up to Joker, who looked a bit scared to be holding the small boy in his arms. There was a smirk on him lips when he saw the green tuffed of hair on the boys temple though. "You'll take after your old man yet…. But seems you've got your mummy's eyes."

"William Spade Quinzel-Napier." Evelyn spoke the name softly and Harley gasped. "I hope that's ok, that way they will have a part of both of you, not just Joker."

"That's more than ok Princess." Harley spoke softly, petting the blond hair on Lyn's head. She took the girls hand when she gasped and didn't even flinch when she felt her hand pop from Evelny's strong grip. The Second Quinzel-Napier was on their way. "J… Get in here. You'll need ot pick up Baby 2 once he's been born."

Joker handed the boy over to the two woman to hold as he stripped down to just his pants, and slid into the water. Pale hand went under the water and rubbed along Evelyn's inner thighs. It helped to sooth her a bit. "Thank you Daddy… That feels nice."

"Anything for you Princess." His right hand ghosted over her core, to see if he could feel the second baby crowning. "Soon, but no baby just yet…. Don't' give me that look. I have been known to read." Pale cheeks tinted pink and he looked down at the small babe in his lovers arms. Too soon the moment passed and pain once more took over.

Reaching down once more a grin covered the Jokers face. "Seems this little guys ready to meet us now hunny. You know what to do." Evelyn did he best not to cry, fore she didn't want to wake William in her arms. She used that built up cry to push the second baby out with a low whine, before falling into Harley's arms.

"Sophia Diamond Quinzel-Napier." Joker spoke softly as he pulled the baby from the water. As soon as the small head broke the surface she began go cry. The Joker placed her gently on Evelyn's chest right next to her twin and she calmed down instantly. The green tuft of hair rested on her right temple while her brothers was on the left. Both had her eyes.

"Hello Sophia… Hello William… You are both so very loved."

Harley looked up at Joker and smiled. Now this was living.
